2. the composition of thrust bearing
Then, the composition of the thrust bearing of the feature of the bearing arrangement as embodiment 1 is illustrated.In addition, pushing away The sliding surface 31 of power bearing 3 and the sliding surface 41 of thrust bearing 4 have the shape of mirror symmetry.Therefore, in the following description, The specific shape of thrust bearing is illustrated by taking thrust bearing 4 as an example.Fig. 4 is the composition for illustrating thrust bearing Figure.In addition, Fig. 5 is to schematically show the cross sectional shape carried out along the curve C-C in Fig. 4 to bearing in the case where cutting Figure.In addition, these glide directions shown in the drawings indicate direction of rotation of the sliding surface 22 of crankshaft 2 relative to sliding surface 41.Such as Shown in these figures, planar portions 42, tapering 44 and bag portion 46 are formed in the sliding surface 41 of the thrust bearing 4 of embodiment 1.
Planar portions 42 are made of thickness, that is, constant wall thickness plane of bearing.Positive pressure is generated in the bearing clearance of planar portions 42 Oil film pressure.Planar portions 42 are played by the extrusion effect of the oil film of the positive pressure inhibit the deformation because of crankshaft 2 caused by it is sliding The function of the offset in dynamic face 22.In addition, in the following description, by it is in the sliding surface 41 of thrust bearing 4, be formed with planar portions 42 region is known as " extrusion effect region ".
Tapering 44 by with the glide direction with the sliding surface 22 from the end of planar portions 42 towards crankshaft 2 and wall thickness is thinning The inclined plane of mode the conical surface constitute.In the bearing clearance in tapering 44, the oil film of negative pressure is generated because lubricating oil is attracted Pressure.
Here, generating air pocket in the sliding surface for producing negative pressure.It is η=1mPas with lubricating oil about the viscosities il of fluid ~100mPas or so is compared, and air is much smaller than lubricating oil viscosity for η=0.01mPas~0.1mPas or so.Such as following formula (1) shown in, the shearing resistance τ and viscosities il and sliding speed U of fluid are in direct ratio, inversely proportional with the film thickness h of oil film.Therefore, When the oil film of bearing clearance generates air pocket, the shearing resistance τ of oil film becomes smaller, and thus sliding friction reduces.In the following description In, region in the sliding surface 41 of thrust bearing 4, being formed with tapering 44 is known as " air pocket area ".In addition, will be by tapering 44 The thickest portion and most thin portion wall thickness difference indicate tapering 44 depth H c be known as " air pocket area depth ".
Moreover, bag portion 46 is configured to include: the thinner bottom surface 462 in most thin portion for being configured to wall ratio tapering 44;In tapering The first side 461 that 44 sides are constituted;And the second side 463 constituted in the side opposite with first side 461.Lubricating oil from Tapering 44 is flowed into bag portion 46.Bag portion 46 plays the function for the foreign matter that capture is attracted to tapering 44 as a result,.In sliding surface 41 In, it has been continuously formed by a series of tectosome that the planar portions 42, tapering 44 and bag portion 46 are formed multiple.
3. the feature of thrust bearing
Present inventor is conceived to the movement of lubricating oil in the flowing of sliding surface 41 of thrust bearing 4 and is repeated Conscientiously study.Finally, it is found that in order not to lose extrusion effect and obtain the effect realized by the generation of air pocket to the maximum extent The optimum shape in the tapering 44 of fruit and in order to effectively capture the optimum shape of the bag portion 46 of the foreign matter attracted to tapering 44.
The feature in the tapering 3-1.
Firstly, being illustrated to the optimum shape in tapering 44.Fig. 6 is shown in the planar portions of thrust bearing and tapering generation Oil film pressure distribution figure.As shown in the drawing, the planar portions 42 of thrust bearing 4 influence the generation of the extrusion effect of positive pressure. In contrast, the generation of air pocket caused by the tapering 44 of thrust bearing 4 is influenced because of negative pressure.In thrust bearing 4, it is desirable that well It takes into account performance thrust load of the bearing from crankshaft 2 and reduces the two effects of sliding friction.
Fig. 7 is the one of the verification result for indicating extrusion effect index and air pocket generation index relative to air pocket area depth Example.In addition, extrusion effect index be for judge by extrusion effect realize bearing function superiority and inferiority index, such as by with Under formula (2) calculate.In addition, it is for judging that generating the sliding friction realized by air pocket reduces the excellent of function that air pocket, which generates index, Bad index, such as calculated by formula below (3).In addition, p indicates that oil film pressure, x indicate to slide in following formula (2), (3) The coordinate in dynamic direction, η indicate the viscosity of oil film, and U indicates the sliding speed of crankshaft 2, and h indicates oil film thickness, and V indicates crankshaft The closing speed of 2 axial thrust bearings 4.
Verification result according to figure 7, extrusion effect index most advantage when air pocket area depth is 0, and cavity Domain depth more it is deep then more disadvantage.In contrast, air pocket generates index most advantage when air pocket area depth is 0, in air pocket area Most disadvantage when depth is 80 μm, and air pocket area depth more further deepens then more disadvantage.
Like this, verification result according to figure 7, from the viewpoint of extrusion effect, preferably air pocket area depth is small, From the viewpoint of the effect realized by the generation of air pocket, air pocket area depth is preferably 80 μm of front and backs.But in air pocket area Depth is the range bigger than 80 μm, and extrusion effect becomes disadvantage, in addition, in range of the air pocket area depth less than 10 μm, it can not Expect the generation of air pocket.Therefore, in the thrust bearing 4 of embodiment 1, as the production for ensuring air pocket in maximum region Range that is raw and not losing extrusion effect, sets tapering 44 in such a way that air pocket area depth is 10 μm~80 μm of range Shape.
The feature of 3-2. bag portion
Then the shape of bag portion 46 is illustrated.Fig. 8 is the figure for the shape for illustrating the bag portion of thrust bearing.In the presence of The case where foreign matter is attracted together with lubricating oil to tapering 44.It is captured by the foreign matter attracted to tapering 44 in bag portion 46.Therefore, Preferably, by bag portion 46 be set as in the case where capturing the maximum sized foreign matter of imagination foreign matter not with sliding face contact Size.Following formula (4) shows to make the condition not contacted with the sliding surface 22 of crankshaft 2 by the foreign matter that bag portion 46 captures. As from the bottom surface of bag portion 46 462 to bag depth H p as defined in the height of planar portions 42 for example preferably in the item for meeting following formula (4) The range of part determines.In addition, Ra indicates the surface roughness [mm] of the sliding surface 22 of crankshaft 2 in formula (4), Rb indicates thrust The surface roughness [mm] of the sliding surface 41 of bearing 4, ha indicate the size [mm] of foreign matter.
For example, then becoming the item that can ignore that Ra and Rb in formula (4) when it is 0.001mm that Ra, which is 0.0005mm, Rb, The small value of degree, therefore, bag depth H p meet Hp >=ha.Therefore, when imagination foreign matter size ha is up to 0.1mm, bag Depth H p is preferably set to 0.1mm or more.In the thrust bearing 4 of embodiment 1, it is also considered that bag portion 46 is realized as oil groove The case where function, and bag depth H p is set as 0.8mm~1.2mm or so, the wide Wp of bag is set as 2mm~3mm or so.
The problem of shape of 3-3. bag portion
Even if ensuring the bag depth H p of bag portion 46, but it is also envisaged that because of first side 461 and second side 463 The case where shape and captured foreign matter turn again to tapering 44 or planar portions 42.Therefore, in the thrust bearing 4 of embodiment 1 In, by the inclination angle of regulation first side 461 and second side 463, to prevent the return of foreign matter.
The feature of the second side of 3-4. bag portion
Fig. 9 is the figure for the shape for illustrating second side face of bag portion.As shown in the drawing, bottom surface 462 is extended First angle θ 1 formed by imaginary plane and second side 463 influences to flow into the turning loss index of the lubricating oil of bag portion 46.Figure 10 It is that figure that flow into the lubricating oil of bag portion, that turning loss index is relative to the variation of first angle θ 1 is shown to show as shown in the drawing Go out that the first angle θ 1 the big, has flowed into the bigger tendency of the turning loss of the lubricating oil of bag portion 46.But as first angle θ 1 When increasing above 90 °, it can generate because second side 463 and 42 angulation of planar portions become durability caused by acute angle And/or the worry of processability.Therefore, in the thrust bearing 4 of embodiment 1, as second for preventing the return of foreign matter The composition of side 463, first angle θ 1 are set as 1≤120 ° of 90 °≤θ of range.In addition, if considering durability and/or processing Property, then first angle θ 1 is more preferably 1≤100 ° of 90 °≤θ of range, in this range also particularly preferred θ 1=90 °.
The feature of the first side of 3-5. bag portion
Figure 11 is the figure for the shape for illustrating the first side of bag portion.When lubricating oil is flowed into bag portion 46, due to stream The steering resistence of body and 461 side of the first side of the inside of bag portion 46 generate with removing sinuous flow.When in bag portion 46 When inside generates sinuous flow, the oil stream returned from the inside of bag portion 46 to tapering 44 can be interfered dynamic.The conical surface in tapering 44 is extended Imaginary plane and first side 461 formed by second angle θ 2 influence the sinuous flow generation degree.Therefore, if to make unrest as far as possible The mode that the generation of stream is actively changed sets second angle θ 2, then can prevent the return of foreign matter captured by bag portion 46.
Figure 12 is to show air pocket to generate an example of index and sinuous flow generation index relative to the verification result of second angle θ 2. As shown in the drawing, the tendency that the sinuous flow in the more big then bag portion 46 of second angle θ 2 generates index more advantage is shown.Therefore, in order to Change the generation of sinuous flow actively, second angle θ 2 is preferably set as to such as 90 ° or more of range.
However, second angle θ 2 not only influences the generation of sinuous flow, the attraction effect of foreign matter caused by also influencing because of negative pressure.Such as Shown in Figure 12, the tendency that the more big then air pocket of second angle θ 2 generates index more disadvantage is shown.According to the verification result, Neng Goukao Consider even if in the case where second angle θ 2 is less than 90 °, when producing negative pressure as generating air pocket, can also expect different The attraction effect of object.Solid line shown in Figure 12 is that air pocket is generated index and generates the objective function that index is multiplied with sinuous flow. According to the objective function, show in the case where second angle θ 2 is 60 °, from because of foreign matter caused by negative pressure attraction and sinuous flow The obtained effect of synthesis of generation it is maximum.
Therefore, in the thrust bearing 4 of embodiment 1, as in order to promote foreign matter attraction and prevent returning for foreign matter Second angle θ 2, is set as 2≤120 ° of 60 °≤θ of range by the composition for the first side 461 returned.In addition, if considering durability And/or processability, then second angle θ 2 is preferably 2≤100 ° of 90 °≤θ of range, is also particularly preferably θ 2=in this range 90°。
According to the composition of bag portion 46 discussed above, can capture the foreign matter attracted by negative pressure to tapering 44 and Prevent the foreign matter from again returning to tapering 44.Like this, crowded by taking into account according to the thrust bearing 4 and bearing arrangement of embodiment 1 The generation and trapping foreign matter effect of effect, air pocket are pressed, so as to reduce sliding friction loss and improve foreign matter discharge Property.
[variation of the construction of bearing arrangement]
The bearing arrangement of embodiment 1 for example can also be using the composition deformed as described below.
Figure 13 is the figure for showing the variation of composition of thrust bearing.As shown in the drawing, pushing away about composition air pocket area The tapering 44 of power bearing 4, bearing clearance can also and non-linear change.That is, tapering 44 by with towards glide direction and axis Face as gap gradually narrows is held to constitute.For example, as shown in figure 13, it can be by curved surface structure convex upwards At alternatively, it is also possible to be made of curved surface convex downwards.
Figure 14 is the figure for showing the variation of construction of bearing arrangement.In the example shown in the figure, thrust bearing 3,4 is made For the flange-type integral with sliding bearing 121 flanged bearing 7 and constitute.It, can according to the construction of such bearing arrangement Cut down number of components.
Also can replace saddle 14 and thrust bearing 3,4 be set in the two sides of cover 16, or in addition to saddle 14 with Thrust bearing 3,4 also is set in the two sides of cover 16 outside.
